I us...Thanks for the memories, Chun See and Peter.<br /><br />I used to play the limetime"golis" for fighting with my Bukit Ho Swee Kampong buddies during my childhood days.<br /><br />Peter has described "goli fighting" details with his fantastic elephant memory which the game was played with seriousness and enthusiasm as an art for competition. Many young children nowadays have not played them or seen the "limestone golis".<br /><br />The small colorful glass "golis" are not for fighting though.<br /><br />We used to hold the glass "golis" in a closed hand and the player who guess the correct number is winner keep all for each game.<br /><br />A fun playtime in the days before PSP and computer games.<br /><br />I remember how I used to have lots of "glass golis" (not coins) in my pockets whenever our young friends meet together with our buddies. My fond memories for games to play.<br /><br />Cheers!Thimbuktuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04495581875211093357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1729881438055696073.post-76813348301291818802011-02-27T18:35:16.432+08:002011-02-27T18:35:16.432+08:00Looks like Peter is itching for a game of "go...Looks like Peter is itching for a game of "goli" - the limestone kind. Any challengers?<br /><br />Hmm, so the glass "goli" in the goodie bag, not cleared for competition, haha.Icemoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08174805596607457468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1729881438055696073.post-86682882333044609052011-02-25T19:03:14.423+08:002011-02-25T19:03:14.423+08:00Most probably the eyeglass candy not kampong candy...Most probably the eyeglass candy not kampong candy.<br /><br />I hope peter gives us similar lobang next time, haha.

Glass type "...Your photo of "goli". Glass type "golis" never used for "fighting", more for showcase. You wanna "fight" you use the limestone "golis" which is white in colour. Limestone golis got 2 sizes, medium size (bigger than glass type) and large size. ONLT medium size can be used for "fighting".<br /><br />You play the game of goli on a hard bare surface (no grass). You make a hole in the ground and "draw" a line some 10 -15 feet away as "starting line". I cant remember the rest of the game as to how it was played or the rules (maybe someone can help). All I can remember is to use your third finger of left hand as the "hammer" and "pouch" to launch the ballistic "goli" and third finger on right hand as the "trigger" to propel the "goli". The idea is to knock your enemy's goli away from the hole.<br /><br /> OR to break enemy's "goli" to put him out of the game.<br /><br />Good "golis" cost 10 cents each. Cheap golis 5 cents buy 2. Later there was also metal "golis" but not allowed for competition.peternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1729881438055696073.post-13157700603977221432011-02-18T21:34:30.154+08:002011-02-18T21:34:30.154+08:00It was also a first time for me; seeing the eyegla...It was also a first time for me; seeing the eyeglass candy .... and attending a gala premiere.Lam Chun Seehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01762020157703342970noreply@blogger.com
